COACH AND PROGRAM

In his first season as coach at Colorado State, Tim Miles won seven games and none in conference play. Three years later, the Rams won 19 games for just the 10th time in school history, the most victories since 1997-98. The fourth-place finish in the Mountain West tied for their best in the league's 12-year history, and it was their most conference victories since 1996-97.
